Pink Plumeria has always been a favorite of mine from the Summer Neons Collection. My enthusiasm shrinked a little when I applied this polish because it is sheerer than other polishes from this collection and not easy to apply evenly. I applied two thick coats but some might to got with three coats.

I don't know how to describe the color of Pink Plumeria. Light coral-pink? It looks great on the nails. Beautiful and bright. The golden shimmer is also great. Well, the tough formula doesn't matter! :-)

I have painted the hearts and the stems with a Nail Art Liner Brush*from the Born Pretty Store. It's super easy to paint the hearts when you make two dots with a dotting tool first. The brush is very fine and great for painting! And the practical cap keeps the brush from bending.

Using water decals is pretty easy but you will need some time to cut out the water decals. The size of the decals is already measured and okay but they were to small for my thumb.

The decals have a very nice print, no pixels visible :-) Sadly they smell a little like plastic and tend to stick fast to the nails even though I added water drops. But they are still easy to work with. And I like the look of this mani!

Dance Legend #885 from the Enamel Gel Effect Collection is a creme-beige with a hint of pink. Very flattering for my skin. The polish is almost opaque with the first coat but I applied a second coat. The formula is a little thick but easy to work with. Besides #885 has a very glossy finish.

My wonderful husband has been supporting my nail polish addiction and chose - in his opinion - the two most summerly polishes from the recent Luxury Lacquer LE from Catrice and gave them to me. The polishes all have a different finish.

Brick It On (Metal Effect) is a total fail for me. The finish is terrible, totally streaky and not pretty at all. Exactly how you don't want a metallic polish to look. I am wearing two coats which dried quickly. Matte top coat makes it look a little better but can't save this polish.

edding LAQUE Grateful Green* is a light sage green crelly polish. Easy to apply and opaque in two coats. The brush in my bottle was a little lopsided but I could still work with it. This polish has a glossy finish but I am showing it with the matching quick drying top coat* from edding LAQUE.

This quick drying top coat is amazing! It dries quickly, is shock-proof in 5 minutes, glossy and can be applied very thin. Love it!

Durability is also very good. It seems the colored polish and the top coat are merging and making the polish last very long. It did not even have tip wear after three days.

Today I am taking part in the German campaign "Lacke in Farbe ... und bunt!" round 4 (in English: "Polishes in color ... and colored!") from Lenas Sofa. You can get informations in German here.

We wear most breath taking nail polishes often only once. Maybe a second time for nail art. But after that an amazing polish is standing on a shelf. It was about time to wear Picture Polish Scarlett again!

Scarlett is opaque in one neat coat but I applied two thin coats for better durability. This polish has the most stunning shimmer particles in gold, pink and purple. The holo is shy but visible.

Today is a premiere on my blog. I am not only showing you nail polish and nail art but also watches - in combination with nail polish :-)

In the last few weeks I discovered a soft spot for watches, probably fixed by my husband (also read: The exit watch). Every now and then I want to show you pics of my watches, just because it is fun. As a nail blogger I set a high value on neatly manicured nails and hands and what is more nearby then highlighting my hands with a pretty watch?

Sometimes I am so silly! Picture Polish O'Hara* has been standing on my shelf since January but I saved it for a special occasion. Because it is so pretty. So silly!

O'Hara is a jelly red with a hint of raspberry that is full of holo particles. A summer-red. I am wearing two coats but longer nails might need three coats. Like with all my Picutre Polishes this was a dream to apply and dried quickly. Only the durability is really bad. I had chipping and tip wear after only one day.

I bought Flormar JL09 Sky Blue in a little boutique in a mall in Ras Al Khaimah. The boutique looked a little deserted so I assumed this polish has been standing in the shelves for years. But even if that was the case - Sky Blue was a joy to apply!

I am wearing two thicker coats. This polish is a crelly, it is opaque like a creme polish but shiny like a gel nail polish. Besides this polish is super self-leveling. Drying time was normal.

I can't say no to a pretty light pink. And China Glaze has such wonderful pinks in their summer collections!

Feel The Breeze from the Off Shore Collection of 2013 is a bright light pink with a hint of apricot. Very eye-catching, just perfect! First I applied this polish on my toes but because of the slightly thick formula that was a tough thing. The application on my finger nails was much easier. I am wearing two coats. This polish has a semi-matte finish.
